Cardinals' Andy Lee a Pro Bowl snub, but an understandable one

The Arizona Cardinals had only one player selected to the Pro Bowl this year — cornerback Patrick Peterson. Three others were named alternates. Each year many players are snubbed from the squad.

For the Cardinals, they only have one real snub — punter Andy Lee. He was not even an alternate.

He is tied for second in the league with a 48.5-yard punting average. He is fifth in net punting at 42.4 yards. He has 25 punts downed inside the 20, something amazing considering how badly Arizona’s offense has played and produced.

Those are Pro Bowl-worthy numbers.

However, the NFC punter selected is very deserving. Seattle Seahawks punter Michael Dickson got the nod. He has a better gross average, net average and one more punt downed inside the 20.

Lee has been selected to the Pro Bowl four times already in his career. he has been an All-Pro.

He deserves to make it this year. The problem is Dickson was a little more deserving.
